Upto android 15 because they s20 series got 3 years of software updates so it's last update was in january 2023 and android 14 released in october 2023 but the s21 series will get 4 years so upto 2025 but it was released in January 2021 and 4 years after that is January 2025 and android 16 will release after summer 2025.
S21 FE user here. I bought mine earlier this year, around April. It’s a decent phone-good display, good size, not too big, not too small. However, it tends to overheat. Just today, I was at a resort here in Zimbabwe, trying to take pictures, and it displayed a warning saying it was too hot to use the camera. I even tried pouring water on it, but the water was hot too-Kariba heat does that. The battery is another issue. It’s horrendous if you’re a heavy user like me. I charge it about three times a day, but to be fair, I do spend around 11 hours on my phone daily since I use it for work. Other than that, it’s alright. The camera performs well, especially in good lighting, but if you’re into pixel-peeping like me, you might notice its shortcomings. Overall, I’ve been relatively happy with it. I’d give it a solid 6.5 out of 10.
I'll really try and hold on until Android 17 launches and the phones goes out of date. Newer phones really don't have that much on this one tbh. The battery is a definite drawback tho. But I'll probably replace it once it goes below 80% capacity. I already have a replacement. I just don't get why I have so much temptation considering what I already have. It's so strange.
I'm skeptical about the claim of a 10-hour battery life. In my experience, it only lasts 4-5 hours, and using Wi-Fi extends it to 6 hours. When using 5G, the battery drains quickly. Additionally, this phone doesn't have Galaxy AI. Apart from these drawbacks, it performs well and handles tasks smoothly. If you're looking for a gaming phone, you might want to consider other options. If you're set on getting a Samsung phone, the S23 is a good value for the money.
Tf you high in bro??? .. FE has Sd888 or Exy2100... They are built for normal to good gaming .... What the hell you planning to play?? Wukong on phone???...
Do you have experience with gaming on this phone specifically, maybe? I'm thinking about having it, and 8 ball pool game only will be played on it✓ you think it's ok? @@googleboss215
I still use my s21fe and it's great, super durable, fast, screen looks great. The battery is awful though, but if I bring a 25 watt charger around it's completely fine.
Currently using one. Honestly. They're great. But they lack compatibility with many things. They're reliable. Decent features from Android. But I still have to upgrade. It'll be completely outdated soon enough. EDIT: Please note. Samsung Dex is useless on the 21FE. It's simply too weak to handle it. It'll heat up far too much to really get anything out of it.
Also, thank you for information about the S21 f. E as well, I still have my S21 so I can put Norton. Or McAfee, or total AV to keep from suspicious. Hackers without having to worry about the updates..
Watching on my S21 FE. It's on android 14 with the latest security patch and still solid for 2024.
nice!
did you face any problems like camera downgrad or heating issues poor battery life ??
@@younessmosir7919 No camera issues but yes the battery life could be better. I use a battery case to get me through my long work days.
@@younessmosir7919 In my experience the battery life is indeed not very good. But everything else is perfect for my use.
Watching this video on my samsung s21 fe with android 14 one UI 6.1, one of the best phone i ever had, dont think ill be upgrading... love my phone, 😀
Right it's super and beast mobile I also like it so much
Will it get android 15?
@@gyasogyadi5320 sure will!! 😀
@@gyasogyadi5320 it will get upto 16
@@gyasogyadi5320yup
I've had this phone for a long time. The only problem is storage for apps. If you're a gamer it can only hold but so many
Just got one on sale at best buy $129, open box good condition but only 128gb
Im using an s21 planing on using it for a few more years its verry smooth and responsive [dose anybody know if this phone will get android 15?]

I missed the look of this phone after I switched to s23, the summary for switching from s21 fe to s23 'exynos'
Just got mine, I dig it
Even I'm planning to buy it. Should I?
@@prajwallamkhade9477 yes
I almost bought the s21 and the screen was smaller and i felt like the screen resolution was worse even tho on paper it was supposed to be better
mines a bit more than 1 year old but i think im gonna get rid of it cuz aint no way a phone that age is supposed to have a swollen battery
What about the green line issue that affects S20 series and above?
The front camera is really nice too, I liked mine, it just went out yesterday 😔
Got mine and will use it as a business phone of sorts. Got a cool case too!
Waiting for black Friday to see the deals.
brand new for 200e..but 6gb of ram...good deal ?
Bought one for 200 dollars in basically perfect condition. Killer deal and phone.
nice!

yeah battery life is different for everyone, my testing is on wifi so on 5g/4g/LTE it will drain faster

S23 bit smaller .. but nice
Im using s21 for 1 year and still good like new... 😍
nice choice!
Is it actually worth to buy in 2024? Iam planning to buy it🙃
Alot of poeple complain about the green line issue so i'd recommend you look into that first
Best $150 spent can run games like zenless zone zero and genshin
it cant run zenless zone zero lol
My secondary still S8+ and in good performance and battery ..
Wish Samsung would make A version like this weight size
I still use my s21fe and it's great, super durable, fast, screen looks great. The battery is awful though, but if I bring a 25 watt charger around it's completely fine.
Should i buy it refurbished?
Yes, mine is refurbished.
Tried nord 3 and a55 this year ....... bleah . This one has the same price as s23 fe :))
So should I get this instead of the A55?
i'd probably go with the s24 fe when its on sale over a55 but probably depends on price where you live
The Bluetooth to headphones stops working on this and samsung wont acknowledge it
I don't like the speakers that's a major con otherwise it's a brilliant device
The white pink and green lines. Yep, sorry to burst your bubbles. Mine is just waiting to be replaced anytime soon now. Also, the battery IS NOT GOOD
Battery is bad lol
Is the s21 still worth it for 3 more years
I'm watching with my samsung s21 fe
Currently using one. Honestly. They're great. But they lack compatibility with many things.
They're reliable. Decent features from Android.
But I still have to upgrade. It'll be completely outdated soon enough.
EDIT: Please note. Samsung Dex is useless on the 21FE. It's simply too weak to handle it. It'll heat up far too much to really get anything out of it.
What is it it's not compatible with? Outdated soon? It's supposed to be getting Android 15 & 16.
Android 15 so should run for more 5 years
Which one would be better S21 Fe vs Pixel 6? Or anytging better in this price range?
Also, thank you for information about the S21 f. E as well, I still have my S21 so I can put Norton. Or McAfee, or total AV to keep from suspicious. Hackers without having to worry about the updates..
How did your battery's ran out after 10 hours? I barely get 4-5 hours sot
Not sure, it's better than s22 plus but not as good as s24 plus battery
bcs he still on android 12 one ui 4 . we screwed up bcs we update our s21 fe to one Ui 6 and 6.1
Which one is more worth to buy in 2024 base on android update?( Samsung s21 fe SD 888 or Samsung a 54) some advice will be great help
Android update A54
Also considering these two but budget buy is likely the S21 FE. Good for at least 2 more years
Older flagship is always better. The phone S21 Fe is just 2/1 generation old so it's still worth it
Try to get S23 if you gettting for good price
i think the oneplus 9 was a better device
No its not worth ir,green lines and oink lines,better buy another brand or series
Its great phone
Loving the device but got green line in July Security patch…
